A little color this morning and the sun was shining. I was a little low on energy this morning. I think I have been pushing myself the last couple of days. This morning I kept it close to home, I started at the harbor seal rookery, I watched them for a half hour or so. No births but a couple of pups and a lot of cuteness.
Taking images of harbor seals was a healing mechanism from the beginning of our journey with Phil's cancer. Our friend Kim let me earn a camera taking images to help her with her Facebook page. Harbor Seals of Pacific Grove Phil and I would spend hours watching the seals. Sometimes he would sit in the car or on a bench when he didn't feel good. When he did feel good, he was great at spotting births. I remember many good times. I'm grateful to Kim for setting me on the path that led me where I am. My love of photographing nature on our walks began with the seals.
The blog is keeping me busy and I'm finding joy in it. Phil loved me writing about what he was going through and the idea of me sharing my thoughts and images. Right after I started the blogging about our journey with Phil's cancer he told me the blog would reach 100,000 views. I'm getting very close and that makes me happy because I know it would have pleased Phil.
The 365 days of images has been good for me. I am exercising, having fun and being in nature is helping the healing process. I can't lie I have been putting time into it, but I feel the benefits are equal to the time invested. I will be ecstatic if I can make it through the 365 days. So far so good.
Tidal pooling along the way.
Flowers and more flowers.
For Phil
I am carrying you in my heart.
I see the ocean through your eyes, I remember the stories, the kisses and all the love we shared. I continue to move forward. It doesn't hurt any less but each day I find healing and happiness.
Your kindness remains with me.
I miss the holy hell out of you.
Two of my favorite blogs and memories are about harbor seals.
